What is your previous LoTRO experience (including previous kinships)?

I've played LoTRO since the beginning, and was a member of Hope and Glory for many years. (The only kin I ever joined). I completely stopped playing games after I unexpectedly had twins, 3 years ago, but have recently restarted and am slowly remembering how it all works.

Why do you want to join The Elders?

I had a really good experience in H&G, and was very sad to see it gone - from what I've read it looks like The Elders has the same ethos as H&G, with mature players, having fun and not taking things too seriously. Also no kids

What do you plan to do with your time?

A bit of everything, I love the game and try to experience everything it has to offer.

The Slave Code.When our ambition is bounded, it leads us to work joyfully. When our ambition is unbounded, it leads us to lie, to cheat, to hurt others.When our fears are bounded, we're prudent, we're cautious, we're thoughtful. When our fears are unbounded and overblown, we're reckless and cowardly. Our bounds make us free.

Welcome Andrew! A fair few H&Gs joined us when they folded. Now they've been Elders long enough, that I can't remember who any more. Plus some of them will have drifted away in the passing of time ofc. Anyway, we're open for recruitment and you're very welcome.

Search for 'Elders' in Social Panel and ping any one of them to ask an Officer to give you an invite.

Standard recruit stuff: You'll be a Recruit for 21 days while we get to know each other and during that time you can only have your main in the kin (it's easier to get to know someone before they devolve into hundreds of different alts. ) Once you're all settled, we do expect Members not to have characters in different kinships (we can't stalk you, so this is just on your honour!) There are a number of exceptions. It's absolutely fine to have your own personal kinship, as we know some people like to own kinhouses and so on. We're also ok with you having an alt in a kin for something we're not really able to provide - such as an RP or PvP kin - but please do talk to me or an Officer about it. You'll find us very understanding.
